milk powder and chocolate. Stir until
crumbs and clusters are coated.
Spread out on a tray and set aside
to allow the chocolate to harden and
so the crumbs are no longer sticky.
Combine with the toasted macadamia
and set aside. 4 For the Anzac biscuit
base, place the flour, oats, sugar and
coconut in a large bowl and stir to
combine. Place the golden syrup and
butter in a small saucepan over low
heat and stir until the butter has
melted. Remove from the heat. 5 Mix
the bicarbonate of soda with 1½
teaspoons of water and add to the
golden syrup mixture. Pour into
the dry ingredients, add egg yolk
and mix together until fully combined.
6 Grease and line a high-sided (15cm)
baking tray (20cm x 30cm). Press the
mixture into the base, pressing down
to flatten slightly, then place in the
oven for 10–12 minutes or until just
golden brown. 7 Add the softened
ice-cream and malt syrup to a bowl
and stir to combine. You only want to
just mix the malt syrup through so it
creates strands of caramel through the
ice-cream. Pour the ice-cream onto
the biscuit base then tightly cover the
tray with plastic wrap and freeze
overnight or until ice-cream is firm.
8 To serve, gently remove from the
baking tray, scatter the macadamia
cookie crumb and drizzle with dulce de
leche (if using). Slice into rectangles with
a hot, wet knife and serve immediately.
